SiliconAndhra ManaBadi, world's largest non-profit initiative to teach Telugu, the second most spoken ancient Indian language, accomplished another huge milestone.

SiliconAndhra ManaBadi is the only Telugu language school in the world to have received this recognition, now in two school districts. SiliconAndhra ManaBadi thanks Wake County School District leadership Delynda Ramirez-Carter and her staff for giving the opportunity to serve and to provide a framework to heritage and non-heritage families' to learn Telugu.

This is a dream come true for 1000+ volunteers across the world and a strong team of leaders like Deenababu Kondubhatla, Danji Thotapalli, Sarath Veta, Bhaskar Rayavaram, Venu Oruganti, Sriram Kotni, Sneha Vedula, Kalyani Siddhartha, Rama Kakulavarapu, Anil Annam, Nag Yenagandla and Phanimadhav Kasturi, who worked tirelessly on this mission.
